You don\u2019t have to hurry or scurry. The Spirit-led life does not panic; it trusts.<\/p>\n

In Ephesians 1:19-20 (NCV) the apostle Paul reminds us that, \u201cGod\u2019s power is very great for us who believe. That power is the same as the great strength God used to raise Christ from the dead and put him at his right side in the heavenly world<\/strong>.\u201d The same hand that pushed the rock from the tomb can shove away your doubt. The same power that stirred the still heart of Christ can stir your flagging faith. The same strength that put Satan on his heels can, and will, defeat Satan in your life.<\/p>\n

Just keep the power supply open. Who knows, you may soon hear people asking, \u201cWhat\u2019s gotten into you?\u201d You see, as God\u2019s story becomes our story, his power becomes our power.<\/p>\n
